I stopped by Bread & Chocolate for a coffee when I was in Chevy Chase last weekend. The cappuccino…read morethey made for me was pretty good (I find that almost no one makes a traditional foam cappuccino anymore), and they do have a pretty patio in front of the cafe. The interior is a little dated, like an old cafeteria-style cafe, and it wasn't clear to me how service works (I thought it was an order at the counter kind of place, but then when I took my cappuccino outside to enjoy on the patio, a server came by and asked me if I needed a menu, and so then I wasn't sure if I could just sit outside with my cappuccino or not). It's a nice enough place to grab a coffee or a pastry though! It definitely has some old school charm!

Stopped in on an early Sunday morning- the store front was tiny with no visible seating. They had a range of pastries in a bunch of interesting flavor combinations. I tried the miso caramel pecan cruffin ($7.50) sounded so interesting but unfortunately it was way too sweet and tasted stale (which is odd since I went early in the morning). I also got an iced matcha ($6 + $1 for oat milk) which tasted ok but nothing special. Overall, considering how pricey it ended up being I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to love this place and applaud the attempt at unique flavors, but probably won't be coming back.

You can choose from traditional scoops of ice cream to flights, over-the-top sundaes, and indulgent milkshakes--whatever you're in the mood for, they've got you covered. Our orders included 2 scoops, 3 scoops, a sundae, and a flight. I went with the flight because I couldn't decide on a flavor, even after trying a few. Absolutely loved my decision! It was the perfect way to sample several flavors and find some new favorites.

After dinner one night, we walked around downtown Bethesda and happened upon Henry's Sweet Retreat…read more Luckily, we saved room for dessert, and Henry's hit the spot. We got a blueberry pop tart, and some raspberry scones, along with a chocolate covered vanilla cupcake. Yummy! The only problem is that Henry's is not just a dessert bakery - the store may appear tiny on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. In addition to the bakery, they got all kinds of candy and other goodies for sale. I gotta stop back in another day and try all the other good stuff inside. Plus, you can tell from the Rick Astley-inspired sign outside, Henry's has a great sense of humor. This is exactly what small business brings to the neighborhood. Stop by and visit Henry's Sweet Retreat - you'll be glad you did!

I haven't patronized this store in years due to inconsistent quality in the past, but at the time of this recent review, Red Velvet Cupcakery is back on top! Truthfully, this is the only place that Ive enjoyed the red velvet flavor, and no one else in the area comes close to the way this shop creates their signature cupcake. Their other flavors are fantastic too..and you can taste the realness in their ingredients. Everything is always packaged neatly and sustainably..and the customer service (in the past) has always been kind and efficient. Highly recommend!

I found Red Velvet Cupcakery through the Too Good to Go app that aims to cut down on food waste. The service offers discounted local area store food that otherwise goes to waste and also helps discover many small business restaurants. I am glad I purchased the cupcakes at a discounted price instead of $4/cupcake or $24+ tax. The cupcakes were underwhelming in presentation. The taste and texture wasn't exactly the best. Some of the cupcakes looked like someone else was about to eat it but changed their mind because the cupcake shell was peeled off. The white frosting was runny and tasted oddly sour. The bottom half of the cupcakes were very dry and stale. I ended up throwing away most of it. I get it that these cupcakes were meant to be thrown out or otherwise given away for free. I just didn't expect the items to taste accordingly. I have no idea how long ago these cupcakes were made despite the claim that it is baked fresh daily. Whatever the case is, I won't be returning and I wouldn't recommend it for my friends and family. There are so many other wonderful small business bakeries in the area with higher quality presentations and taste. Sad to say this wasn't it.

From the warm greeting, to the thorough explanation behind given recommendations, and then to genuine good bye... this definitely allowed for exceptional introductory to Captain Cookie. To the cookies and the milkshake. The cookies were fresh, warm, moist, AND scrumptious. I had the double chocolate chip cookie, which generally isn't my go to, however, the staff's recommendation/explanation sold me on it. And, it was by far the best double chocolate chip cookie that I have had. Then I had the oatmeal chocolate chip which was simply perfect. I also sampled the cookies and cream milkshake which had the perfect thickness and the perfect amount milk and ice cream. If ever in the area, I would recommend everyone to try them out. When I'm back in the area, I know that I would for sure be stopping by.
